Yep.. and teams are free to choose what they want to use.

This constantly disturbs me. Luminary Micro is providing a price brealk for FRC teams, but you have to go to a specific Digi-Key web page. Otherwise, the cost to NON-FRC teams is $109, which is only a 6 advantage. Please use http://sales.digikey.com/dkes/FirstR...ompetition.asp if you decide to order more Jaguars beyond those provided in the KoP. This link is also available at the bottom of the Jaguar web site at Luminary Micro (http://www.luminarymicro.com/jaguar).

One of our students came to the simple observation that if you stand on on its end (with the cable retention clips pointing up to the sky) you can put two of them back to back (fans facing in opposite directions) and take only a little more space than laying flat on a table. Our team will probably experiment with this orientation if space becomes tight.
